Made me laugh. Years ago, I used to write for a gaming magazine called The Space Gamer. I was so prolific with articles, I was later told that the office joke was that they should rename the magazine, Armintrout Gamer!

I think putting my name up there next to Armand or L4 largely fits into the "this is ridiculous" category. I would be half tempted to claim some of those votes too, if I weren't so sure that would cause a shift from "this is ridiculous" to "this is $#@&*-up".

Hey, I get this was not a "scientific survey" and I'm taking it in a light hearted manner. And frankly I think there are a number of gents here[or who were here], e.g. Mark 1, R Mark Davies, respectively, etc. are much more "knowledgeable" than I. On this subject and others.

Tango frequently posts some very interesting links about this topic and many others that start some good conversations. Which in turn, we all may learn some new information or help us remember that which we forgot, etc.

If any post was meant a e.g. a personal attack, etc., and I don't think any were. Again this IMO was a very much less that "serious" pole. And should be taken as such. As I have heard, "I you are the smartest guy in the room … you are in the wrong room." So I would have to leave very few of those "rooms" …

In this case being "dubbed" one of the most helpful on WWII topics on TMP is like being crowned the King of the North Pole ! LOL !

Of course … it is much more helpful to demystify, criticize or openly dismiss what another offers … especially on the part of someone whose last thread comes from 2008 … and who suspiciously appears only for this type of "contribution" … bravo! … that is helpful here …(smile)

Much sooner, but who, except possibly you, is counting? I pretty much choose not to post things found through google searches. Was a member since the rules directory, so was around since on or before 1999 when Easy Eight's Battleground WW2 came out. But whatever. Free forum, post what you wish, and my (and only my) opinion is that I don't find what you post helpful and I choose choose to ignore it. So passively-aggressively insult away. Volume of posts does not equate to being helpful- in my opinion – which seems necessary to repeat here. Others think differently.

I don't know why people voted for whoever and it seems a bit of a pointless sort of a poll.But shrug….

I guess some people consider it useful and therefore helpful that Armand spends time finding stuff he considers interesting and posts links.Maybe they consider providing links as entertainment and they want to be entertained so links are therefore helpful.If one visits a website every day to be entertained then… seems to me Armand is indeed helpful.

Your opinión is valid as mine… keep with your path… and I will follow mine…

The difference is that I do not wrote personal opinions about people who contribute little or nothing to the forum … especially in a negative way … even more if it's the only thing I've contributed for years …

Being in TMP since its inception provides the same distinction as posting 30 times every day … nada! … it does not mean anything at all ….

The name of the poster is right there on the thread header.You can click or not click.If you find Armand's stuff interesting ( I often do ) then click.If you don't then don't click.

You're not forced to download everything and then pick through it.Even if you are a mobile user and pay per byte then the front page will be just as big with or without Armand's posts.There just aren't enough to push everything off the page every day.

Even if your criticism is really about the perceived intellectual content of threads….. Some really high quality posts are in threads that Armand started.
